White-throated dipper (Cinclus cinclus)
I was so taken aback by this photo initially like what do you mean there's birds that just do this???
Like yeah there's plenty of underwater birds. But they usually very clearly look like underwater birds!! And then here's this guy just Standing like you are so normal looking what are you doing down there?
Turns out they also have solid bones to help them sink and the way they move underwater looks so much like normal bird flying that it weirds me out:
So yeah huh guess I've learned about dippers now! Absolutely absurd, love them
